I was thinking it would be nice to develop an
application that would allow someone to quickly tell
who lives close to whom in a ward.

This would be useful for hometeaching and visiting
teaching assignments, esp. with the rising costs of
transportation.  While this might not be a big deal in
areas with high Mormon population densities, it does
play a role in other areas where members of a ward can
be spread out over many miles.

So the way I would envision it is that the program
first creates a database with all families.  Then
using a utility (example -->
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert?form=address )
is able to assign a GPS location to each house based
on the address.  Then when the user calls upon a name,
you could see how many families lived within a
specified radius.

I have zero programming experience, so I'm afraid I
can do no more than suggest this idea and participate
in testing.  I take that back.  I did a semester of
fortran some 15 years ago, but I don't think that
counts.  :)
